New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – Z43
FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced a safety recall on certain 2022 Model Year (JL) Jeep Wrangler vehicles.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
Some of the above vehicles may have been built with a wiring harness that is incompatible with the tail lamp assembly, which results in nonfunctional side marker lamps within the tail lamp assembly. Vehicles with nonfunctional side marker lamps may cause an approaching vehicle to be unaware of the position and dimensions of the vehicle, which can cause a crash without prior warning.
The condition described above does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108 Table 1-a which requires that side marker lamps shall be “steady burning.” Vehicles that do not activate the side marker lamps when the vehicle lighting is activated are not steady burning.
SERVICE ACTION
FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall to replace the tail lamp assemblies on all affected vehicles. The remedy for this condition is not currently available. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 2nd Quarter of 2022.

FCA US has a longstanding policy and practice of reimbursing owners who have incurred the cost of repairing a problem that subsequently becomes the subject of a field action. To ensure consistency, FCA US, as part of the owner letter, will request that customers send the original receipt and/or other adequate proof of payment to the company for confirmation of the expense. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : The remedy is to replace the rear tail lamp assemblies and update the vehicle configuration to ensure the FMVSS 108 lighting requirements are met.
